Great practical advice, useful resources, excellent information and the keys to successful drama teaching.

Make the drama! Don’t become the drama!

This website is dedicated to all those who are passionate about drama teaching.

Unfortunately passion doesn’t always get you through in a teaching subject that has a high attrition rate. Many drama teachers ‘become the drama’ and either give up early or burn out later,  chose less demanding subjects to teach; or leave teaching all together.

The successful failed drama teacher..

As a young drama teacher I discovered how humiliating, how devastating, how depressing it is to discover that your great ideas, your energy and your enthusiasm are not enough to get you through. After only six months I simply left school one day at lunchtime and never returned.

I have dedicated a chapter in my book, Organised Chaos: A Very Practical Guide to Drama Teaching to my early failure as a drama teacher. The good news is that after giving up on my chosen career, bruised, battered and bewildered,  I later returned to become an extremely successful drama teacher. I’m not just blowing my own trumpet here. Check out what other teaching professionals have to say in the Testimonials on this website.

This is a website dedicated to helping new, struggling or flagging drama teachers find answers to problems, new direction and renewed enthusiasm.

It’s a work in progress so be patient. If you can’t find what you’re looking for I’ll put it here eventually.

The aim is to make everything very practical. You won’t find highly intellectual articles debating the pros and cons of different approaches to drama.

You will find information, resources and advice to help you develop a great drama program and organise your classes on a daily basis.

Please take time to view the video intro and come back again if we haven’t got what you need yet.

Please, please take the time to send me an email at info@drama-teaching.com and let me know what it is that you wanted to find but haven’t found here yet. I really want to make this website work for you.

This will be material that helps you to not only survive as a drama teacher but achieve the success you richly deserve.

Your feedback will ensure the success or otherwise of this website. I certainly don’t want to waste my time and yours on a website that is able to deliver on its promises.
